Just in time for the election, babbbbyyyyyyyy

Wages rose 3.3 percent in 2019, 3.9 over the past year. Job growth slowing. The Fed is supposed to get ahead of the curve. Time to cut.

So maybe taking in a terrified dog on the 4th of July was not the best idea.

If someone's telling me not to vote, I'd like to know their take on actual policies that are at stake in the election. The NYT, apparently, does not think that's relevant.

My kid is super whiney today. I put the hot dog eating contest on and it shut him up for a good 10 minutes so my brain could rest. USA! USA! USA!

Everyone at Hyvee looks like they were storming the Capitol on Jan. 6th.

Worst night to be a hand surgeon on call at a trauma hospital in my experience.

Coworker's friend's son blew up his face and hand this weekend. They thought he might lose the hand. Kids, just leave fireworks to the pros

I am super cool with Kamala. I mean, either is fine at this point. I would even vote for Hunter Biden over Trump. Fuck, throw Bo Biden’s coffin on stage I will vote for it.

Hoping the viewer base has moved beyond “kids home sick from school/activities”

CBS Special Report about the SCOTUS ruling had a hard out directly into The Price Is Right intro which got me good.

the (not-very) implicit assumption underlying this editorial is that Trump (and the Republican Party) is an existential threat to the country, yet they're too chickenshit to actually say that explicitly.

NY Times editorial board calls on the President to drop out of the race: www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/o...

Opinion | To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Racewww.nytimes.com The president’s inadequate performance in the debate made it clear he is not the man he was four years ago.

My transformation from youthful party girl into middle aged suburban lady is going great. My credit card bill is all plant purchases and skin care. Zero purchases of alcohol (minus the bottle of white wine my husband bought cause red wine makes me sick now, duh)

A fundamentally undemocratic court that has been controlled by Republican nominees for 55 consecutive years just seized control of the whole damn government. Yet another reason Democrats should center the Supreme Court in their campaigns. (More on this soon!)

Here’s the Loper Bright decision expressly overruling Chevron and radically reordering American government, probably for the worse. Chief Justice Roberts wrote it, and the vote went on party lines. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

The Democratic Party’s reaction to their candidate having a bad debate substantially outpaces the Republican Party’s reaction to their candidate being convicted of multiple felonies, held liable for rape, and owing judgments in the hundreds of millions for defamation and fraud.

Taking this one to heart this morning!

did 34 felon convictions, a rape conviction, adultery, hush money, numerous fraud convictions, and 3 more felon cases suddenly go away? No? then stop worrying.

Fuck.

Conservatives do not want to go back to "family values." Conservative men want to go back to a time when they could get away with doing anything they wanted without recourse. They just call it "family values" and the media sells it.

The people who drive the most aggressively IMO, are the assholes driving more expensive cars.

This patronizing attitude people have adopted that it’s simply impossible for poor people to avoid speeding and therefore they will be unfairly hurt by speed cameras is so paternalistic it makes me very uncomfortable. Not making a ton of money doesn’t mean you’re predisposed to break traffic laws.

loving today’s subplot where jamelle bouie says speeding is bad and everyone tries to convince him that speeding is actually good sometimes

Bought a grampa’s weeded for the specific purpose of pulling Canadian thistle when my hands work way better.

Welcome to the Annual Most Dad* Thing You Did In The Last Year Thread. Per tradition, I will lead off: I bought a mitre saw almost entirely because it was on sale, and now I will find the thinnest excuse to incorporate it into any home project. *You need not have kids or identify as male to Dad.

“We are living in a post-Constitutional time." The Washington Post has an article on Russ Vought, a radicalized self-described Christian Nationalist who intends to play a big part in Trump's administration if he's elected in November. [gift link]

Trump loyalist pushes ‘post-constitutional’ vision for second termwapo.st Russ Vought, the former president’s budget director, is laying the groundwork for a broad expansion of presidential powers.

Where was this before I clicked on Cocomelon Lane for the first time 🥴 Now it’s endless.

So many people have developed a sense of nihilism and inevitability about Trump that they view these convictions as being meaningless, maybe it would be good if we collectively try to reel that in a bit

I bought one of those koosh racket things at target and was playing it outside alone when the verdict came out. Definitely in a different headspace than a few years ago.

If there's one message I wish I could convey to every single politics posting addict, it's that there is nothing ennobling about being miserable. One of the nice things about doing therapy is realizing there aren't any good principled reasons for feeding your own depression.

Kinda fucked up that letting unelectable partisan hacks have lifetime appointments and brazenly take bribes from billionaire perverts isn’t working out better
